Can anyone describe what the Lamictal Rash looks like? From what I read on the internet, it seems like some versions of the rash are very serious, and others are not quite so serious. I have been on...
I had a similar question. I have partial complex seizure disorder (only one in 3/05). Every now and then I have sort of a dizziness or overload kind of feeling, maybe like I going to pass out, but...
Hi - I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I am on 300 MG of Lamictal, and I know what you are saying. My memory can be really bad including not remembering the right word (I had a melt down with...
I am so sorry this has happened to your daughter and your family. What must have been such an exciting time turned into something very scary. I had my 1st seizure at 37, 3 months ago, and it is...
Hi everyone! How are you doing? Here's my story: I got my Letter from the DMV this week saying for sure that my license is suspended for futher notice, if I try to drive I will be arrested and/or...
Hi Kayak, thanks for asking. I am doing pretty good these days, up to my therapeutic dose of 200 MG Lamictal and seems to be working pretty well. It hasn't been too much of an adjustment fortunately...
Yes, it is some serious stuff. Since Jan, both my kids stopped napping, therefore so did I - my caffeine and diet coke intake tripled since that time. I think the lack of sleep, caffeine and...
Hi RanMan, I hear you. I am sorry for what you have gone through. Stress is a major issue in our culture. It is a killer. Check out this Book :"Full Catastrophe Living" and "Whereever You go, there...
Welcome! It is hard dealing with this, I am like you, same dx, and had my 1st and only 6 weeks ago. A lot to learn and adjust to. It is nice having a meeting place to learn, ask questions and get...
Hi, thanks for your support. It is a big adjustment getting used to all this, first losing my license, now thinking about not going out alone. Wow! Anyway, I am on Lamictal 200 MG QD. Also, I have...
It sounds like you are a great advocate for your son. Good luck with the neurologist!...
I was just at Starbucks writing and all of a sudden I felt so tired and kind of nauseus, like I wanted to just go home and be in bed. I got so panicked that a seizure was coming on and I would be in...
Hi Kat, I am so sorry to hear what you and your partner are going through. What a shock to you both. I am glad you have a good support system with friends, and have found this for support also. I...
My symptoms turned out to be bacterial infection, I went on the Z-pack and was cured. My neuro and Primary care doc both said that the sx I was having were not related to the Lamictal, I guess they...
I think the above comments are true. Also, if he has had recent growth spurt, or just developing a tolerance to the medication, it might be contributing. But, he should get a full physical. For...
I hope you feel better! That's a drag about the medication! Chicken Soup, water, and lots of T.V. not to mention NAPS! :-)...
I am sorry about what you are going through. It is so difficult to have these episodes let alone have freedoms taken away from you. It sounds like flying means so much to you, and I hope that you get...
Thanks. I went to neurologist and the primary doctor this week, and they both feel it is coincidental that I got these sx when I was upping the lamictal - they think I have a virus, so that is good...
I am not sure what non-epileptic seizures are but until recently, I have only had sleep (and probably some day) myoclonus which was not seizure related, although now that I have had my first seizure,...
I am on my 3rd week of Lamictal - I just went to 50 MG. I have a dry, sore throat and female infection. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms and do they go away - if so how long? TIA!!!...
Thanks that helps. I certainly don't want to put any one in danger, not to mention my 2 small children. It is just so scary if this is something that will keep occuring or a one time thing. Can't...
thank you. that is very nice of you. It sounds like you are moving on with your life without letting obstacles bump you down. It is a very positive message and nice to hear!...
Reading my post, I also want to say that I am really bummed about losing my license and hope I get it back. In my mind, I think "It could have been a lot worse" but in my heart I think "This stinks...
Hello, I had my first seizure last week at age 36. I have 2 kids and a part time job. Now I have lost my license for at least 6 months. I would like to know if anyone had this happen to them in which...
You sound so much like me! I am a 36 year old mother of 2 (P/T SAHM), kids are both under 4 years old. I had my 1st seizure last week at home, involving a partial complex episode, with about 5-15...
I just started Lamictal this week. So far so good. I had my first seizure last Saturday, so this is all pretty new to me. Since the seizure, I have had a terrible head ache which has progressively...
